Prince William Sound offers tremendous boating, wildlife watching, fishing and glacier viewing opportunities. Numerous islands, coves and inlets offer thousands of miles of coastline to explore. The majority of the sound is part of the Chugach National Forest. Prince William Sound can be explored from the ports of Whittier, Valdez and Cordova. Kayak rentals, fishing trips, and the Alaska Marine Highway are other ways to see this beautiful area of Alaska.
